2 . While international travel is not an option due to the pandemic, Chinese tourists are still traveling within the country. Some people have an option for a more rural experience, though historic and natural wonders are still the priorities.
According to a recent report released by Chinese-owned Trip. com Group, one of the world's largest online travel agencies, rural tourism trips in China had increased year-on-year by more than 300 percent by March 2021.
Zhou Mingqi, founder and general manager of Shanghai Tour Guide Enterprise Management Consulting, said that Chinese people are tired of the hustle and bustle(喧嚣忙碌)of big cities and want to have unique experiences.
"There is a need to experience a different kind of life, like idyllic(田园诗般的)scenery or countryside life, to change a lifestyle on the weekend, " Zhou told CNN.
Wang Shang works for a Beijing-based company that helps organize countryside tours. She said that in one of the hotels she worked for, visitors can experience growing their own food, practice farming and learn about the region's traditional crafts and customs, CNN reported. Deng Yu, a 26-year-old tourist, likes the lifestyle very much. Working in big cities for several years, Deng told CGTN that rural trips help her not only "enjoy the landscape" but also "relieve stress by escaping the bustling city life and getting closer to nature."
Wang believes that experiencing a healthy lifestyle is another reason why city-dwellers travel to rural areas. Most of the visitors from cities are used to buying food in the supermarket. Sometimes they would worry about the food safety. But in rural areas, they can easily get healthy, fresh produce. Wang said that visitors from big cities come to buy flour, noodles, meat, eggs, honey and liquor, among other items.
The trend has also been pushed by Chinese internet influencers such as Li Ziqi, whose beautifully-shot videos of simple life in rural China have gained tens of millions of viewers.
To keep this boom going and attract more visitors, some rural areas are increasing their appeal.
"Nowadays· the rural areas in many places have indeed undergone major changes. Especially after renovating for tourism, it will become much more beautiful than in the past." Zhou told CNN.

3 . Now many young people are traveling around the world on their own, not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone.
Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life. “It opens up your mind to things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.
In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen, it is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone. It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.
Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year. He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures. He says he wished he had traveled alone earlier. “The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person.” said the 30-year-old man.
Richardson describes traveling alone like “a shot in the arm”, which “makes you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything”. He said, “The feeling of having overcome something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I’m dealing with a difficult task. I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”
The great 19thcentury explorer John Muir once said. “Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.

5 . When you are travelling, whether on business or for pleasure, you often need to stay in a hotel. The kind of hotel you choose probably is decided above all according to how much money you want to spend. There are small hotels with very few services, where the prices are low, or there are large hotels with all the very latest comforts, where you could spend all the money you have in the bank for one very comfortable night.
There are several different kinds of people who go to hotels. Some want to live, rather than just stay, in a hotel; the hotels which are designed to meet their needs are called residential hotels. However, most people who stay in hotels are either business people or tourists on holiday.
In most hotels, there are two kinds of rooms: single rooms, for the use of one person, and double rooms, for the use of two people. In addition, in large hotels, there are also suites(套房), which include two or more rooms connected together—perhaps a bed-room and a living room. They are for people who are very rich or very important.
